27 Experience from Kuwait

28 A. Molecular diagnosis of sepsis

29 Conventional culture system 1. < 50% positive 2. TAT hrs

30 Evaluation of the comperative performance of Verigine Blood Culture Nucliec acid System to Conventional Techniques in a Tertiary-care Hospital in Kuwait *Mokaddas EM 1, 2, Behbehani A 2, Abdullah A 2, Shatti S 2. 1 Microbiology Department, Faculty of Medicine, Kuwait University, Kuwait. 2 Laboratory Department, Ibn Sina Hospital, Kuwait

31 The diagnosis of bacteremia and sepsis is a priority in a Clinical Microbiology Department as they carry high mortality ( 20-50%). Early correct antibiotic treatment is correlated with higher survival rates. This is the main reason why broad spectrum antibiotics are usually administered until the microbiology results are known.

32 Once the bacterial pathogen is known, treatment can be adjusted to a more specific antibiotioc therapy. A key predictor of mortality rates in patients with severe blood stream infection is the time to identification of the causative pathogen and initiation of targeted therapy.

33 Rapid Diagnosis Rapid identification And of blood isolates is important Antimicrobial in patient stewardship management as well as antimicrobial stewardship.

34 The Verigene Gram-positive and Gram negative Blood Culture (BC-GP, BC-GN)) system (Nanosphere, USA) is a qualitative multiplexed automated nucleic acid in vitro diagnostic test for the direct identification of Grampositive With and a Gram TAT negative of 2 hrsbacteria and their genetic resistance markers.

35 Verigene BC-GP and BC-GN identifiable targets 12/23/ Footer Text

36 NB. Of the staphylococci only S.aures, S. epidermidis and S. lugdumesis can be identified as the other staphylococci are not present in the data base.

37 Targets Bacterial Targets Resistance Marker Organism/Gene Acinetobacter spp. Citrobacter spp. Enterobacter spp. Proteus spp. E. coli Klebsiella pneumoniae Klebsiella oxytoca Pseudomonas aerogenes Serratia marcescens CTX-M VIM KPC IMP NDM OXA (48/23/40/58) N.B. Stenotrophomonas maltophilia cannot be identified as it is not present in the data base

38 Objectives To evaluate the performance of Verigene ( BC-GP and BC-GN) nucleic acid test for the direct identification of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria from positive blood culture bottles in comparison with Gene Xpert system (Cephide, USA) for Gram-positive bacteria and with the conventional culture technique for both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. To evaluate the performance of Verigene ( BC-GP) and ( BC- GN) for the detection of resistant markers directly from positive blood culture bottles in comparison with conventional culture technique. To evaluate the impact of rapid detection of the causative pathogens from blood on the management of patients

39 Materials and Methods All the demographic data including the age, sex, patient location, underlying clinical condition, clinical and laboratory data suggesting sepsis, initial empirical therapy, adjusted therapy and outcome of the patients were collected. For Gram-positive bacteria: All blood culture bottles ( Bactec, Bekton Dickinson, USA) showing Gram-positive cocci by Gram stain were processed in: Verigene for BC-GP according to the manufacturer s instructions GeneXpert ( Cepheid, USA) for BC-GP ( only for Grampositive cocci in clusters) All the positive blood culture bottles were simultaneously cultured by conventional methods for both ID as well as susceptibility using Vitek II, and Vitek MS ( Biomerioux, France)

40 Materials and Methods For Gram-negative bacteria: All blood culture bottles showing Gram-negative bacilli by Gram stain were processed in: Verigene for BC-GN according to the manufacturer s instructions All the positive blood culture bottles were simultaneously cultured by conventional methods for both ID as well as susceptibility using Vitek II, and Vitek MS A total of 11 QC strains of different streptococci were included in the evaluation
